<p>Hi, I too have a daughter who will be a senior this fall…so we are starting the college search. She has ADD and LD in math. Any ideas of a college that offers support. We live in Illinois, but any location we will look into. Thanks!</p>

<p>Really great and useful post, nocousin.</p>
<p>Thread goes back to 2008.</p>
<p>Dancemajor, the Princeton Review book on Colleges for kids with Learning Disabilities is very helpful, suggest you purchase it. </p>
<p>[MyAU</a> Presented by Alfred University](<a href=“MyAU | My Alfred University”>MyAU | My Alfred University) </p>
<p>I have a child at Alfred University (NY) only two math credits are needed to apply.
If your SAT math score is not a certain score, you need to take Math 101 type course. </p>
<p>Small classes, know your professors, great academics, Division III Athletics. </p>

<p>Here are two books that may or may not help with the search. Although I listed their amazon addresses, they’re available at most bookstores I’ve been to.

This doesn’t list schools, but consider it the bible for any ADHD student who is applying to college or is already in college.

Btw, I’m ADHD too.</p>
<p>Susan, I don’t know about supports, but OH has lots of small LACs. Off the top of my head I can think of Ohio Wesleyan, Hiram, Earlham (in Indiana, but close to OH), Denison, College of Wooster, Otterbein, and also close to OH (in PA) is Allegheny.</p>
<p>I am also starting to look for colleges for my bright D1 with ADD. First of all, I agree (I’m grew up and went to college in OH), Ohio State may be overwhelming for you S and professors are not as likely to be supportive of him. I would opt for a smaller LAC or smaller state school (if one exists in IL). Keep in mind, my daughter is most drawn to very liberal schools.<br>
Here’s our list so far:
-Earlham
-Bard
-Bennington
-Marlboro
-Warren Wilson
-Guilford
-Knox
-College of Wooster</p>
<p>Schools that I am researching, but not yet sure how supportive:
-Ohio Wesleyan
-Skidmore</p>
<p>I agree with your comments, nocousin. My son, almost 18yo, with ADHD, is a Senior in high school. Interestingly, he has been reluctant to pursue getting his drivers licence given his ADHD, fearing that he will not be able to resist distraction. He has a fraternal twin who drives, who does not have ADHD, and therefore my husband and I have not pushed my son with ADHD to obtain his drivers license. He has applied to many colleges. His GPA is not stellar but he did pretty well on standardized testing. We are also trying to decide what would be the best course of action for college. My preference is that he stay nearby but if he gets into a school that is excellent for his field he may request to go out of state. There are schools which offer programs for ADHD students. I wonder if they are worth the additional expense.</p>
<p>My son who is diagnosed with ADHD is now in his senior year. Do anyone knows of a university or a college that is supportive of ADHD students and where he can get a degree in Business preferably in Arizona or California. Many thanks.</p>
